Once, years ago, I made a list, on a late night flight to my hometown.My sister had called to tell me that our mother was dying and that if I wanted to say goodbye, I needed to get there fast. So I made calls to cancel work and hurried to catch the last flight out.After takeoff, the lights went down and I felt empty and alone.What do you do when you get lonely and theres no one to hold you? How do you fill a hungry heart?I took out a notebook and listed all the kindnesses that Id ever been given.Five hours later, when we landed, I closed the notebook and rushed to the hospital to say goodbye to my mother.Making that list of kindnesses that night helped me in the days ahead to do the things I needed to do and be the daughter I wanted to be.Kindness heals and fills an empty heart. Its a gift, once and for always.Last night it was cold and rainy, so I wrapped myself up in a blanket. Warm then, I recalled being 7 years old in Mrs Harrisons second grade class.That morning, Id worn my new shoes to school. I loved the shoes and all the way to school on the bus couldnt stop looking at them. But when I stepped off the bus, my right foot- and my new right shoe went deep into a puddle of water.Mrs Harrison saw the water I was dripping into class. She said, Give me those shoes and warm your feet by the fire.Thank you, maam, I said.No trouble! We all hit a puddle now and then!I dont know if she remembered it. But I do. It warmed my feet for a few hours. But it has warmed my heart for a lifetime.Often, acts of kindness seem to be the simplest. But they become beautiful beyond all singing of it if they are remembered with thankfulness and passed on from one needy soul to another.（1）The author thinks listing kindnesses can _. A . help kill time when she feels lonelyB . remind her how lucky she was as a childC . make her think that she was not as good as othersD . remind her to be a good daughter（2）The author mentioned her experience in second grade mainly to _. A . express her thanks to Mrs HarrisonB . show that children always love new shoesC . encourage teachers to care more about their studentsD . say that small acts of kindness can mean a lot to someone（3）According to the passage, we should _. A . remember these acts for a lifetimeB . spread kindness to those in needC . speak about the kindness to other peopleD . make a list of kindnesses and repay them（4）Why does the author think kindness is a gift for always? 12. （6分）Want a good nights sleep? Then turn off your computer, cell phone or PSP two hours before you go to bed.These things have bright lights. When our eyes see bright lights just before sleep, our sleep patterns (模式) change, a study has found.Our body clock starts shutting us down for bed at 9 or 10 pm. But bright lights make our minds think that it is still daytime. That wakes us up and leaves us sleepless, experts say.But if you read a paper book before sleeping, you wont have this problem. This is because light from a bedside lamp (台灯) does not go straight into our eyes.Also, if you are watching a television from across the bedroom, you wont have problems falling asleep. The TV sends light to us from a distance, so the light wont be as strong.（1）The writer tells us to turn off the computerbefore bed time.A . half an hourB . an hourC . two hoursD . three hours（2）Which of the following may make us sleepless?A . Reading a newspaper.B . Talking on QQ.C . Reading a book.D . Watching TV.（3）Why cant we sleep well if we use a computer before bed time?A . We think it is daytime if we leave computers on.B . We feel too excited to sleep after using computers.C . Lights from computers are brighter than other lights.D . Lights from computers can change our sleep patterns.13. （8分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。CAre you carrying too much on your back at school? Youre not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).It hurts my back when I run, said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. Its hard to go up the stairs with my backpack, because its too heavy,Oberlin was among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.They had regular backpacks with two straps(带子)to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground).Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework.P.S. Doctors advice: Lighten the load. Clean out binders(活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night. Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly(均匀). And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder. Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.Bend both knees when you pick up the pack ,and dont just bend over at the waist(腰).（1）The main idea of the passage is _. A . The problem of backpacks is worth(值得)studyingB . The problem is made by heavy backpacksC . The best backpacks are for studentsD . How to make students backpacks lighter（2）According to Oberlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we know _. A . students have to do too much homeworkB . students have to carry several backpacksC . backpacks without wheels are bad for studentsD . too much homework leaves students no free time（3）The underlined expression switched to in the passage perhaps means _. A . caught upB . turned toC . started to useD . used for（4）If students follow the doctors advice they _.
